Windows: mysql gem requires libmysql.dll from MySQL 5.0. Crashes with anything newer

[FractalizeR]

Hi.

Could you please reflect in documentation, that ruby gem mysql on Windows requires libmysql.dll from MySQL server 5.0. And so old MySQL server release is already nowhere to be found.

libmysql.dll from MySQL 5.1 and 5.5 crashes application.

I had to download php-5.2.17-Win32-VC6-x86.zip and take libmysql.dll from there. It worked. I placed it into Ruby\bin folder.

No, I will not reflect it, because:

1. I don't support this gem for a long time
2. I don't and I hope will never use ruby under windows

Well, I understand your motives, but there are still people, who use your great tool. It's they, who require information. It's they who can sometimes use Ruby on Windows. Not you.

Thank you anyway. Your tool is great.

Sorry, but I really don't care people, that are so silly or unlucky, that they are using ruby on windows.
